Motion, <br />Ayes -4{ Nays -0. Motion passed. <br />ASSESSING SERVICE <br />Peterson stated that she did not believe this item should <br />have been on the Consent Agenda. She said, "I believe that <br />$66,000 is a bit excessive for the City Assessor's salary. The <br />$66,000 represents a 12.5% increase over last year and a 35% <br />increase from 1988. I also do not agree that this amount will be <br />15% to 20% lower than an in -house assessor." <br />Mayor Grabek responded, "I believe that Mr. Erickson has a <br />good grasp of this area and has done an excellent job for the <br />last 4 or 5 years that I have been here. I know that one of his <br />problems was that he could not hire enough good employees to <br />assist him. The job became too much to handle." <br />Peterson agreed that Erickson is a quality assessor, but <br />felt that the salary proposed was a bit high. <br />Mayor Grabek questioned whether there was any room for <br />negotiations in this regard. <br />Gerhardson stated that he would have to refer the comments <br />and concerns to the City Administrator.
